Turning circle on the 88" is better and they fit in smaller spaces.
Not everyone has driven a 109" I prefer them as they are smoother on the road.

Why are 109 series not as popular or desirable as the 88 series

On Exile's 1959 diesel the Sparto Indicators fitted look like the later Sparto indicator style - the attached photo showing the original Sparto light assemblies.   

See the attached photo, on my 58 the Sparto Brake Lights were Factory fitted whist the Indicators were fitted either in the Factory or Dealer as an Option, as the Lucas TPS1 Vacuum Indicator switch is dated 58. 

Exile as I believe a lot of SII Land Rover's left the Factory and Dealerships without Indicators maybe the Sparto indicators on your SII were fitted later?

General Discussion / Paint colour for brackets etc

Hi All, again.
Just started work on body work and others miscellaneous bits.

Sorry if this a dumb question.

Just curious to the original colour of things like steering box, throttle linkage supports, other   Metal bits in the engine bay & bits like seat rails. Mine have bits of green on (original body colour) over black in amongst the brown rust. Would they have originally been body colour or black?

Thanks,

The lower end of that range, due to the extra holes and lack of original warning lights.

Dash panels in that condition (with extra holes) are not difficult to find - and they don't rot away and therefore don't become "hen's teeth"!

Thank you, ebay  :confused

I like to switch owner for the price for the fellow S2 riders, I'm no gold digger.

What would be a decent S2C member price? 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 ... ???
